Review Carlos Lopez

Adjustment of Status

Posted by JeanSun Apr 14 2019

Andres Lopez is wondrous! During the initial consultation, he laid out my options, explained the intricacies of the situation and the likely outcome of the case. As a result, I was able to make an informed decision on how to proceed with the case and eventually obtain my Green Card. He is knowledgable, diligent, professional and honest. A special thanks to the entire Lopez Law Firm staff for handling my case effectively, and especially Erica who was sympathetic and helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend The Lopez Law Firm to anyone who needs assistance with any immigration-related matters.

Residency for my wife

Posted by RichardWed Nov 22 2017

I consulted and then hired the law firm in order to obtain legal residency for my wife when we decided to stay in the USA while she was here visiting with me. Everything went smooth, fast and as planned with her getting the residency within 6 months after applying. The staff proved to be very effective and courteous. This was the second excellent experience I have had with this firm. I would strongly advise anyone looking for immigration information to contact them. Mr. Lopez was present during the interview to give my wife the proper experienced support that she needed in front of a very nice and friendly immigration officer. We certainly will request their guidance and expertise within 3 years, when my wife can apply for her citizenship. You cannot go wrong with this kind of service when you use Mr. Lopez's law firm.

Nicole Griese, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 17, 2018
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

Andres is a breath of fresh air in law. His honesty and charisma with his clients is admirable. He is passionate and driven. He is not afraid of a fight and will see a case through the appeal process. I would recommend any of my close friends and family to him, knowing they would be well taken care of under his representation.

Andres is hands down one of the best immigration lawyers in the Southeast, if not the country. He is a source of information and advice for young immigration lawyers in the North Carolina bar, and his experience working on asylum matters and removal defense is practically unmatched.
